00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,960
Hello and welcome back.

2
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,920
This next video demonstration
is going to show VR within the

3
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,640
actual classroom with a load of learners,
so you can actually see it in practice.

4
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,280
So VR is really useful
within the teaching environment,

5
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,640
in particular health and social care,
because it enables the students to feel

6
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,400
and gain a perception of other people.

7
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,200
So a big part of health and social care
is to be able to demonstrate empathy

8
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,240
and the way that they can do
that is fully emerge themselves

9
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,040
in different situations.

10
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:03,160
One of the VR experiences
that you will be witnessing

11
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,440
now is the learners are watching
a virtual reality video of autism.

12
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,800
So this enables them to be able
to get a really good enrichment

13
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,720
perception of what it would be like
to be in a busy environment with autism.

14
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,920
So they're able to

15
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,400
experience the loud noises,
the distractions and just how intense

16
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,720
it can be for somebody with autism
within a public place.

17
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,000
And again, this really does
help the learners to develop empathy.

18
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Another section of the virtual reality
that you see

19
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,120
the learners fully emerging themselves in
is within a human mouth,

20
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,440
so they get to have a look around
and see what

21
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680
it's like inside.

22
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Another demonstration
that the learners are taking part

23
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,440
in is what it's like
to be inside of a human heart.

24
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,920
So they were able to get to see
all the valves and how that functions.

25
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:15,800
Learners
are also looking at different bacteria,

26
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680
so they're able to get a full view
of what bacteria can look

27
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,440
like.

28
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Learners are now gaining

29
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,040
an experience
of what different viruses can look like.

30
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,760
For example, HIV and the coronavirus.

31
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,120
One of the other

32
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,880
the virtual realities
that's really useful for the learners,

33
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,640
in particular in health and social care
is they get a tour of the human body.

34
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,440
Inside this tour of

35
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,240
the human body,
there is also interesting facts.

36
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,000
And one of them is the amount of saliva
that a human can produce

37
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,240
within their lifetime
can fill two swimming pools.

38
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,920
So VR really is useful within a classroom
because it provides

39
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:14,520
an immersive environment for the learners,
which is not only fun,

40
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640
but it's also educational
at the same time.

41
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200
They're able to get real hands
on, have a giggle with their friends,

42
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,240
which then helps inbed
that learning into the long term memory.

43
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,080
So that was a quick demonstration
of the VR headset in a classroom and

44
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
how that can be incorporated into teaching
within the health and social care.

45
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,760
And the next videos that we will be doing
will be incorporating

46
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,480
more digital technology within teaching.
